TY-52

Rheology Modifier

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TY-52 is an organoclay (tetraallkyl ammonium bentonite) for solvent-based systems of low,medium and high polarity.

1.    Advantages:

¡î High gelling efficiency over low, medium and high polarity organic liquids, especially in 200#solovent oil, coal tar, aromatic compounds.

¡î Produce reproducible thixotropic consistency over a wide temperature range.

¡î High viscosity and excellent thickening property over a wide temperature range.

¡î Imparts particle suspension, preventing hard settling of pigment and fillers.

¡î Exerts strong film reinforce action in organic binder systems.

4.    Incorporations:

TY-52 belongs to the conventional type of organoclay group, which requires mechanical energy, shear forces applied with a goods dispersion equipment, and a chemical (polar) activator to reach the proper level of delamination of the organoclay platelet stacks.

Polar Activator: Dosage of polar activator (such as 95%ethanol, 95%methanol, 95%acetone or propylene carbonate)is 40%-60% by weight of TY-52.

It is always recommended to determine the proper level of addition by experiment. Either defect or excess of chemical activator would result
in poorer viscosity development.

5.    Recommended Levels:

The amount of TY-52 rheology modifier required depends upon the type of organic system and the degree of thickening or other properties desired. Addition levels are typically between 0.2%-2.0% based on the total
formulation weight.
